Save Our Prison Farms! The shut down of Canada's six prison farms is a misguided policy decision that is unsupported by the vast majority of Canadians of all political stripes.  The Save Our Prison Farms national campaign team has been fighting this agenda for over two years. These efforts have led to the re-purchase of dozens of cattle and calves from the former Frontenac Institution herd, in a tremendous show of community support. For more information on the dairy herd co-op, see here.

In an attempt to blockade the removal of the dairy herd, twenty-four average citizens from across the region stood up for their community. Teenagers, Grandmothers, retired ministers, students and poets, are currently fighting this injustice in the courts. To see how you can help and support them, see our Detainees info page.

While the Dairy Herd is off the prison grounds, the organization remains committed to the re-introduction, and revitalization of Canada's Prison Farm program. This cost-effective, rehabilitation program, as well as the ongoing struggle for food justice and local food sustainability is truly a concern for all. You can help.
